In Another...

Maybe in another universe, we wouldn't have ended up like this... Maybe we wouldn't have fallen apart, or maybe I wouldn't have met you... I know you like her. I know you told me. The same way you asked to confirm my confession. Maybe you wouldn't have told the whole class. Maybe I wouldn't have told anyone. I hate that I was beside our friend when you came into our classroom, all because I wanted to talk to C. Maybe in another universe, it didn't happen at our Christmas party. My friends looked for me when you came in, their mouths dropping open when they saw me with C and you heading over to K instead... I know you're just friends, but it doesn't feel that way. I know they're Aroace, I do. And they're my friend too, but maybe in another time... I didn't fall for you. Maybe I would've seen how you were from the start. I hate you, but I still love and long you until now. Your face forever burned in my head, even in missing memories.
